I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

"really?"

Qin Tiantian stretched her body and felt refreshed.

If she usually stays up all night, she might sleep until four or five in the afternoon, and only get up when she is so hungry that she can't stand it anymore.

I woke up naturally around noon today, and I feel quite energetic.

Could it be that Sia really possesses some kind of magic?

Qin Tiantian felt it was better not to ask further.

[Wangchuan]: I'm hungry, I need to eat.

She sent Lu Ban a message.

[Still motionless]: Feng Yu has made lunch. You guys pack up and come over.

"Great!"

Qin Tiantian immediately got up, changed her clothes with Xi Ya, and quickly ran to Lu Ban's house.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a delicious fragrance.

On the living room table, there were sweet and sour pork ribs, dry-pot cabbage, home-style tofu, braised ribbonfish, and a pot of fish ball soup—a feast that tasted just like home.

Of course, from Qin Tiantian's perspective, it's true that it's not spicy enough.

"Why did you make her stay up all night? I was hoping that Xia could get some rest."

Lu Ban served the last plate of cold mixed cucumber salad and said to Qin Tiantian.

"Damn, how dare you say that?"

Qin Tiantian wanted to retort, but seeing that Xi Ya was still there, she swallowed her words.

"Eat, eat! I'm starving!"

She felt extremely hungry. She had eaten instant noodles at 5 a.m., so why was she so hungry?

"The Restless Technique can give you three times the effect of a period of sleep, but it also takes a lot of strain on the body. If you don't replenish your nutrition in time, you may feel even more tired."

Sia explained.

"?"

Qin Tiantian pondered for a moment, wondering if this meant that sleeping for five hours was equivalent to sleeping for fifteen hours. If she slept for fifteen hours, she would definitely be hungry when she woke up!

Isn't this spell a bit strange?

She picked up the bowl and began to wolf down her food. Feng Yu's cooking was so delicious that Qin Tiantian felt she could eat three big bowls.

They ate while watching TV.

"Last night I asked someone to investigate news related to amusement parks over the past three years, and I found some clues."

Lu Ban said at the same time.

"In a small town in Europe, a school discovered an empty classroom during its year-end inventory. They couldn't find any record of its use for the entire year. The school's financial statements listed an expense for amusement park tickets, but none of the classes had visited the amusement park that year."

"During the annual review, a company in an island country discovered that a supplier had not been paid. However, when they called to inquire, the number was disconnected. After some attempts to contact them, they found that the supplier had disappeared. According to the testimony of some contacts, the supplier seemed to have gone to an amusement park for a team building activity."

“In North America, there was a mental patient who insisted that his family members had disappeared in an amusement park, but his medical records and documents proved that he had no family members and that it was all his imagination.”

These reports were all related to the amusement park and might involve missing persons, which Lu Ban suspected was the work of some strange entity.

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Xi Ya suddenly put down her chopsticks.

"There's something I only realized after watching your movie."

Her words made Lu Ban's eyelids twitch, and he carefully recalled that he should not have shown any bad things about Xia in the movie.

After all, eating everything, constantly talking, and snoring while sleeping are not just slanders by Lu Ban, but facts.

"what's up?"

Lu Ban asked.

“I may have met Du Danping.”

Sia said earnestly.

Chapter 453 Cognitive Impediments

Upon hearing Xia's words, Lu Ban immediately became alert.

Du Danping can be considered a chosen one who has delved into the secrets of another realm. At least in the ruined capital and this world, he has left his mark, and collecting his melody fragments is one of Lu Ban's tasks.

Currently, Lu Ban only has two of them: one is at the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and the other is in that strange town in the abandoned capital.

Just as completing the task left by Hongye allowed us to glimpse her life, if we could obtain all of Du Danping's melody fragments, would we be able to glimpse the life of this chosen one whom Lu Ban had only ever seen as a corpse?

Moreover, according to Drizzt, he was guided by Du Danping. So, does the Du Danping of the past truly exist in some otherworldly time and space in the future?

"Tell me in detail."

Lu Ban hurriedly pressed for more information.

Qin Tiantian heard Du Danping's name and felt it sounded familiar, but her survival instinct made her continue eating, ignoring everything else.

Anyway, her memory only lasts seven seconds; she'll forget about this meal after she's eaten it.

Feng Yu frowned slightly. She glanced at Lu Ban, then turned her gaze to Xi Ya as well.

"After we left the ruined capital, I went on three more missions. In the last mission, I returned to the wasteland and traveled with a caravan. I met the real humans there and their city-states. Later, in the city-state, I met a Chosen One who was on another mission and received a lot of help from him. At first, I thought he was a local Chosen One from the wasteland, but after watching your movie yesterday, I realized that the person seemed to be Du Danping."

Xia highlighted the key points of her mission experience.

Will the chosen ones descend upon the same alien land in a way that is not shared with others?

Lu Ban felt something was strange.

If they are all chosen ones from the Silent Land, then when they go to the same exotic location, they will most likely travel together as companions, with everyone having the same goal.

If two groups of chosen ones exist in the same spacetime, they may clash if their goals are different.

Just like those two bandaged people and Lu Ban back on the island.

However, the two sides at that time clearly belonged to different deities, and the other side was not even a place of silence.

Therefore, Lu Ban believes that this situation will probably only occur when two or more deities want to influence a certain period of time.

Both are chosen ones from the Silent Land, so why aren't Du Danping and Xi Ya traveling together?

Why does Du Danping need to hide her identity?

"There's no need. Quiet Place prioritizes efficiency and will put the most suitable people in the most suitable situations."

Feng Yu shook his head.

"Du Danping is probably dead in real life."

She confirmed it.

"Yes, I personally ground his bones to ashes."

Lu Ban said matter-of-factly.

"..."

Feng Yu remained silent for a moment.

"Du Danping's condition may be very special. Perhaps he has found a way to escape the Silent Land, or he can freely choose which alien realm to descend into."

She continued.

"At the same time, we can also confirm one thing: the Du Danping of the past is still alive in the alien world. Perhaps many of his missions are to the future. If you have the chance, you may be able to meet him again."

"There's one more thing: there might be a fragment of Du Danping's melody in the wasteland."

Lu Ban said reluctantly.

Lu Ban found it hard to accept the insects in the wasteland that wanted to have larvae with him, but according to Xi Ya, at least there were living people there. If he had the chance next time, Lu Ban would definitely go to the wasteland to inquire.

"By the way, what was the name of the city-state you visited in the wasteland?"

Lu Ban asked again, intending to inquire about it so that he could find an opportunity to search for that city-state next time he went to the wasteland.

“I’m not entirely sure what the city-state’s name means, but judging from its pronunciation, it should be called… Utopia, and the city-state’s leader is named Plato.”

Sia said as she recalled.

"Utopia, Plato..."

Lu Ban certainly knew these two terms.

Utopia is a fictional social state, now often used negatively. Plato, a philosopher, described a social system with utopian rudiments in his work "The Republic."

Plato's utopia has a surrealist flavor.

Connecting this to the fact that the name of the saint's remains was Achilles, Lu Ban strongly suspected that all the famous people in the wasteland were names he was familiar with.

Is the reason this alien land has such a name because a chosen one traveled to the early wasteland and had an impact on society, or perhaps the system of saints was created by this chosen one?

"By the way, why didn't you call Old Cui this time?"

Lu Ban decided to keep these things to himself.

"I sent him an invitation, but he didn't respond."

Hia replied.

"Has something happened to Old Cui?"

Lu Ban had a bad feeling.

The invitation from the Silent Lands is not instantaneous, but will be delivered at an appropriate time. If Drizzt does not respond, it means that either he does not want to participate in this difficult mission, or he has encountered some inescapable problem that he cannot solve.

For example, in the simplest case, if Twisted Fate died after Lu Ban and the others left the ruined capital, then naturally he wouldn't have received the invitation, and naturally he wouldn't have been able to come.

There was no response to the messages left by Sia and Lu Ban in the Silent Land, so it seems that Trist has indeed encountered something.

"If we have the chance to go to the ruined capital, we should go and look for him."

Lu Ban could only hope that Trist was simply trapped, and not that he had met with some misfortune.

Right now, their focus should be on the mission.
